Title: Microscope optique confocal, dispositif d'agrandissement pour ce microscope et procede d'utilisation correspondant
Inventor: AMOS WILLIAM BRADSHAW
IPC: G02B21/00
Filed: 2000-02-18
Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne une unité optique fixable qui peut être insérée de manière réversible (31, 32) dans une voie de détection de lumière d'un microscope optique confocal, ce qui a pour effet de modifier l'agrandissement de l'échantillon au niveau de l'iris du détecteur (36). Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la modification consiste en un grossissement inverse, ce qui permet d'obtenir une sensibilité élevée au prix de la fonction confocale, comme c'est requis pour l'imagerie à multiphotons ou à d'autres fins. L'opération d'insertion ne perturbe ni ne nécessite l'enlèvement d'aucune lunette optique (30) ni de tout autre système d'imagerie utilisé pour la fonction confocale; cela permet de restaurer la fonction confocale rapidement et de façon répétitive.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un implant destiné à apporter des modifications pathologiques au niveau de la colonne vertébrale et de l'appareil locomoteur. Selon l'invention, il est prévu que l'implant comporte un revêtement de type vernis, d'une épaisseur de 100  mu m ou moins, consistant en un polymère biodégradable tel que du polylactide. Ce revêtement produit un effet ostéoinductif et favorise par conséquent la guérison de la fracture. D'autres matériaux ostéoinductifs tels que des facteurs de croissance peuvent être incorporés dans le revêtement. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé permettant de préparer un implant de ce type, qui comprend les étapes suivantes: préparer une dispersion du polymères biodégradable dans un solvant organique; appliquer ladite dispersion sur la surface à recouvrir; faire évaporer le solvant.

Abstract: Temperature dependent methods can be used to improve the cold start capability of fuel cell electric power generation systems. A method of ceasing operation of an electric power generation system improves the cold start capability and freeze tolerance of a fuel cell stack by reducing the amount of water remaining within the passages of the stack. The method involves purging one or more of the fuel cell stack oxidant and fuel passages at shutdown prior to allowing the fuel cell stack to drop to temperatures below the freezing point of water. Preferably purging at shutdown is conducted at a temperature below the stack operating temperature.  Another method, used at start-up, involves directing a coolant fluid stream to the fuel cell stack only after a predetermined temperature above the freezing temperature of water is exceeded. Preferably, after freezing the fuel cell stack is heated to a temperature above its normal operating temperature before operation is commenced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for eliminating the inefficient use of network bandwidth cause by numerous acknowledgement transmitted by the receiver to the transmitter by providing sparse feedback from the receiver to the transmitter indicating receipt of packets having headers to be used as reference headers. In the invention, upon receipt in the receiver of a packet having a reference header, a feedback is provided to the transmitter indicating receipt of the packet having the reference header. Thereafter, the receiver waits a predetermined period of time before providing another feedback in response to another packet having a reference header. The predetermined period of time allows time for the feedback to be received by the transmitter and for information from the transmitter indicating receipt of the feedback to be received by the receiver.
